Singapore Airlines recently started using the Airbus A380 for their commercial flights. One of the luxuries the huge airplane boasts are first-class double beds, complete with rose petals and champagne. Now if this doesn’t invite people to fulfill their most intimate fantasies of joining the mile-high club, think again. The LA Times reports, Singapore Airlines recently said it would ask passengers on the A380 to refrain from sex while ensconced in one of its 12 first-class suites.
“All we ask of customers, wherever they are on our aircraft, is to observe standards that don’t cause offence to other customers and crew.”
How disappointing. They’ll make the rooms romantic, and give you the privacy you pay for, but they should have either soundproofed the walls or given everyone else on the plane some nice Bose Quietcomfort Noise reduction headphones to deal with the new noises.

As BuBa used to say back in the 70's---'if'n the vans a-rockin' don't come a-knockin' --
...so even if the crew can't hear it----now everyone has to put their seat belt back on? ---This is the Captain---we are experiencing some 'bumpy air'.....

Well, perhaps "sex" in this context is broader than the Clintonian definition of "sexual relations." And speaking of "sexual relations," I am now going to go on a tangent and expose all of you to a rather revolting discovery. Someone pointed me to an obscure passage in the Starr Report:
http://thomas.loc.gov/icreport/6narrit.htm#N_209_
(See note #209.)
I had to share. Sharing is caring! The image has been making me ill all day.
I will, however, state that the activity mentioned in note 209 would probably fall into the umbrella of activities that would "cause offence to other customers and crew."

I don't know...it doesn't sound like they are absolutely disqualifying sex. Just sex that doesn't offend others' standards. So no screamers.

Oh MAN. How could you have a bed with rose petals, and NOT do anything more with it?? If I was on one of those flights, I would so break that rule. hehe...
